Abstract
A 5-year-old, male neutered, mixed breed dog was presented for left forelimb lameness and swelling over the left distal radius. A primary bone tumor of the distal radius was diagnosed and limb-sparing surgery of the left forelimb was performed using a tantalum metal-DCP endoprosthesis. Post-operative histopathology confirmed osteosarcoma.
